Vulnerability in leadership

A guide to the best B2B podcast coverage of Vulnerability in leadership - the shows and 16 episodes that go deepest, ranked by substance, not downloads.

Leadership vulnerability isn't weakness - it's the foundation of trust and retention. These episodes explore how admitting burnout, acknowledging you don't have all the answers, and processing grief openly actually make leaders more effective. From Elizabeth Rosenberg's work on burnout as systemic rather than personal, to Chris Valli's examination of the costs of pretending, to research showing that safety matters more than brilliance, these conversations show how leaders who embrace vulnerability create environments where teams can actually perform.
